One tanker, called Talisman, had reportedly listed the US Atlantic coast as its destination. But shipping data showed it was off the coast of Algeria, heading in the opposite direction.
Leruo, another tanker apparently carrying Russian diesel and at one time heading for the US, appears to be destined for Brazil.
An additional tanker appeared to still be en route to the US, the Financial Times said.

Cynics among us (me waving hand) might suggest that the "deal" was nothing but a show for voters. The fuel was never headed to the US. The typical "JC" ploy, again: make it look like you will give the Proles what they want, to get what the "JC" wants from them, then take away what was promised to the Proles.
I believe one small tanker with Russian diesel docked in New Jersey a couple of weeks ago.
A couple of days ago NJ governor Mikie Sherrill warned all NJ ports against allowing Russian tankers to deliver oil. So they may have rerouted to avoid trouble.
